New energy has become a new carrier of cooperation between car companies. How to do things after "marriage"?

In marriage, marriage is the first step to form a beautiful family. Similarly, in the field of cooperation, "marriage" will become the most important way for partners to overcome difficulties with development, especially when the field of new energy vehicles encounters battery problems, cooperative research and development after "marriage" will become one of the most convenient ways to improve industry standards and industry norms.

I still remember that when we were young, when we were playing with four-wheel drive, in order to play longer and run longer, we would spend nearly 1/1 of the price of the car to choose Nanfu battery. Even in the advertising slogan of Nanfu battery, the phrase "use the remote control car after using the remote control" appeared.

now, after decades of development, new energy vehicles with batteries as the main foundation have begun to become the hot cakes in the market. However, whether it is the plastic four-wheel drive several decades ago or the new energy vehicles today, the price of batteries has always remained high, and even the price of replacing battery packs in some new energy vehicles after sale has reached more than 7% of the car price. How to reduce the cost of battery while ensuring endurance? It has become the main foundation for the future development of many automobile enterprises. However, from the exploration of major automobile companies, there have been many different ways, such as the alliance between automobile companies, the alliance between automobile companies and battery suppliers, and the cooperation between automobile companies through battery technology.

first of all, in the combination of automobile enterprises, the beam automobile project established by BMW Group and Great Wall Motor at the end of 219 is the best example. On November 29, 219, the beam car project invested by BMW Group and Great Wall Motor at a ratio of 5:5 was officially launched in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province. One of the major sections of the Beam Automobile Project is "Joint R&D, Made in China and Serving the World" in the field of new energy, and the products born by Beam Automobile will be sold in the dealer channels of their respective brands, regardless of BMW Group or Great Wall Motor.

Secondly, in terms of the alliance between car companies and battery suppliers, the most representative is the industrial alliance between Toyota and Panasonic. On February 4th, 22, Toyota Motor and Panasonic jointly announced "Taixing Energy Solutions Co., Ltd.", which will be formally established on April 1st, in which 51% of Toyota's shares are held by Panasonic, and 49% of them are held by Panasonic. In the future, the combination of the two parties will ensure the demand of Toyota in the battery field, such as the Toyota C-HR pure electric model to be launched in the future.

In addition, the case of joint venture between the two parties through battery technology in automobile enterprises has surfaced recently, and they are General Motors and Honda, and the relationship between them has been "married" because of GM's UItium battery technology and GM's new generation electric vehicle platform. However, unlike what you can see, although GM continues to develop new battery technology and platform, Honda will design brand-new electric vehicles under this battery technology and platform, and produce and sell them to the North American automobile market through the GM factory. For this practice, we can understand it as follows: Honda provides the materials needed for the bridge, while General Motors builds the bridge more through technical means.

in fact, no matter what kind of "marriage", the power battery that determines the future development of new energy vehicles will become the main carrier. Although the development of power batteries has been for many years, the cost of early research and development, recovery cost and safety cost all need to be shared by everyone.

Back in the domestic new energy vehicle market, we can see that Weilai Automobile and LI in the domestic high-end new energy vehicle field have given different solutions. For example, the battery changing technology of Weilai Automobile and the extended range technology of LI can solve the current battery life problem. However, the power exchange technology of Weilai Automobile is more confined to the densely populated first-tier cities, and it is difficult to take care of the power exchange needs of second-and third-tier cities. In addition, even if LI can charge the battery through an extended-range engine, it is only a temporary solution for the transition from traditional vehicles to new energy vehicles, and it cannot be a long-term solution.

from the above indications, it is shown that both the current pure electric vehicle with battery as the main energy source and the future biofuel and methanol vehicle will be "married" in different ways because of technology development and technology cost. But in general, "marriage" does not mean that you are weak and I am strong, but the most important means of rapid development of technology and rapid reduction of costs.
